Keep Your Printer Working at Maximum Efficiency with a Canon MP560 Print Head

We've all had that infuriating experience of a printer not doing what you tell it to do. In some cases, this may be less the fault of technology being stubborn and more an actual mechanical malfunction with things. A common place for error is in the areas of a printer that deal with the ink itself, making a replacement Canon MP560 print head with clean and unblocked nozzles a must-have for anyone who wants quality printouts for home, school, work, and beyond.

How can you spot a print head that needs replacement?

Replacing an old print head, whether it be damaged, dirtied, or anything in between is a simple matter that anyone can complete. The trick is to know whether it needs replacing in the first place. However, this is simple to determine so long as you can spot any of the following signs:

  • Print Quality: If your prints are consistently muddy, smudged, streaky, or otherwise below their usual standard.
  • Color Quality: If one or more colors do not show up when printing things in color while the ink cartridge(s) that is responsible for that color(s) is in working order.
  • Printer Noise: You consistently hear a grinding or other unnatural noises when printing of any quality occurs. That could also be an indicator that a more serious issue is afoot, so take precautions when investigating.
  • Ink cartridge Replacement: Replacing ink cartridges, empty or not, does not change the imperfect look of your prints.
  • Clean printhead nozzles: After cleaning out a printhead's nozzles, none of the issues listed above improve. Additionally, if the nozzles or other areas of the printhead appear damaged or broken while cleaning, this is an obvious indicator of the need for a new Canon MP560 print head.
Do these print heads work for multiple types of printers?

In some cases, Canon MP560 print heads can function as well for other, similar printers from the same brand. In this case, the Canon MP560 print head can also function on machines like the IP3600, the MP620, and MX870. That makes them a practical buy as you won't need to track down an exact print head for each type of printer.

What is the function of a Canon MP560 print head?

Print heads, whether Canon MP560 print heads or not, are devices that transfer ink from ink cartridges to nozzles that print your images. In simplest terms, it's like a holster for the cartridges. When it needs a type of ink, it presses the release on the cartridge to drain the necessary amount for a page.
